- To the best of my knowledge, LW 4.0 final is shipping on all platforms. This
- doesn't mean some careless or irreputable dealer (no such thing, I know :) )
- wouldn't try to give you a pre-release copy anyway. Ask the dealer you're
- getting it from; if he/she says it will be pre-release, ask why, and please
- tell me about it (davhibsher@aol.com).

- You can ScreamerNet between ANY platforms with the following caveats:
-
- 1. You must own at least one copy of LightWave for each platform you want to
- render on. This is because the ScreamerNet module that comes with a copy of
- LW is specific to that platform. (i.e., the LWSN module that comes with Mips
- LW will only work on other Mips machines.)
-
- 2. Be careful about plug-ins. If your animations use plug-ins which only work
- on one of the plaforms you're rendering on, you will probably have problems.
- (Anyone on the list with experience doing this care to comment?)
